Preparing for euthanasia doesn’t mean that it has to happen tomorrow, and it doesn’t mean you’re giving up on your animal.
It simply means you’re thinking ahead.
You can ask questions, decide what you want the day to look like, think about whether you want to be at home or at the clinic, and talk about aftercare before you’re in the middle of an emergency.
Preparation can actually give you more space to be present with them.
